Note: Created by AIM to be responsible for ending the current age of Man and populating the new world that follows Thasanee Rappaccini has decided to resist her mother and the urge to use her powers for biological warfare and try to be a normal mutant girl living a normal life. AIM wants to make her a killer. SHIELD wants her to use her as a tool. Disillusioned and out of options the Scorpion turns to the Xavier Institute for training and guidance…

Public
Carmilla Black is a pretty average citizen of New York City with no special characteristics. She appears to be working at a movie theatre to pay her rent.

Secret
There are two Scorpions. This one is a young woman with dark green hair who wears a mask. She excretes powerful acids and toxins from her left hand, which she keeps covered, and is a skilled assassin. SHIELD and AIM have detailed profiles on her.

Carmilla was born Thanasee Rappaccini, a genetically engineered weapon created by AIM. Her mother, Monica Rappcaccini, had her raised by adoptive parents and kept her from learning about her origin. She had a pretty normal childhood, actually. Her powers manifested the night of her prom, killing her boyfriend. Scared of the consequences she fled and lived nomadically on the streets of a big city.

Carmilla was later captured by SHIELD when they learned of her powers through her association with AIM. They let in on the secret of her parents being AIM Agents task to watch her and offered to let her free if she'd agree to work for them as a sort of double agent. She also learned from them that her real mother was the 'Scientist Supreme' of AIM, Monica Rappaccini.

Mostly, Carmilla wants answers and, having seen what AIM wants her to do with her powers, she doesn't want to get them by joining them. If She's found her way out from SHIELD by joining the Xavier Institute and becoming one of the X-Men.

Scorpion's StingCarmilla's left arm can emit nearly any chemical she's come in contact with, including acids and poisons at any strength she pleases. It is powerful enough to affect even those with strong healing factors. While a cloud can be emitted its practical range is touch only.

Chemical ImmunityPoisons, acids,etc. are absorbed and added to Carmilla's repertoire of possible chemicals. She can readily survive a direct attack with any bacteriophage or weaponized gas and is also immune to radiation. Furthermore, she can actually suck up ambient chemicals to protect people and things around her or absorb the powers of those who rely upon radiation or poisons if she exerts herself sufficiently. Absorbing anything beyond what affects her directly is quite taxing.

Enhanced PhysiqueCarmilla's physical ability is at the top end of what is possible for a human, even without exercise Further, she fatigues very slowly and can go for days with little or no sleep. She is also somewhat durable compared to a human, resisting electrical attacks, shrapnel, and nearby explosions. She is still vulnerable to bullets however.

EspionageSHIELD and AIM have both trained Carmilla in espionage, acting, and surveillance skills.

InvestigationSHIELD taught Carmilla investigate skills to be used during infiltration and tracking missions.

Unarmed CombatSHIELD, AIM, and time on her own have all taught Carmilla numerous styles of unarmed combat. She ended up with something all her own that is effecitve and heavily utilizes her advanced gymnastic skills. She is fully capable of handling multiple armed opponents.

AthleticsCarmilla was naturally acrobatic before becoming a competitive gymnast. Now she's been trained in how to perform exceptional feats, including combat and Parkour. She's extremely fast.

CrimeWhile on the street Carmilla learned pickpocketing, lockpicking, breaking-and-entering, stalking, and infiltration. She had to use these skills to get by. She also has excellent urban survival skills and clear street smarts.

S.H.I.E.L.D.Scorpion is a SHIELD operative in good standing. They provide weapons, bulletproof armour, the gauntlet that restrains her powers. She is a freelancer, however; she does not get a full-time wage and rarely is allowed actual backup.

GauntletThis gauntlet can become a bracelet when not in use and expands or retracts through thought commands. When it covers her arm it restrains her poisonous touch and keeps people around her safe. In any form it also has a built-in camera, hard drive, and GPS. It is completely invisible to metal detectors. It is also nearly indestructible, able to take anti-tank missiles without being destroyed and sometimes used to block bullets. Combined with her upper level human strength Scorpion has been known to punch through steel padlocks and smash holes in walls with ease.

A.I.M
As the daughter of the Scientist Supreme of AIM she has the ability to draw on their resources if she ever chooses to join them. They will act to protect her (though not always in ways she'd desire) and generally keep tabs on her. If things come down to it Carm is pretty much guaranteed a safe haven with AIM if she really needs it.

GearThis includes standard SHIELD operational kit (except she lacks a gun). Her armour is a black leather bodysuit that hardens to be largely impervious to bullets and knives when pressure isexerted on it. Her mask contains commm equipment and allows her to subvocalize with responses being sent directly to her inner ear to prevent being overheard.

Code of HonorCarmilla doesn't have much use for 'good' or 'bad' but there are lines she will not cross. She avoids killing unless utterly necessary and will not harm innocent people. She doesn't steal from people who can't afford it or betray her friends whilst they acti n good faith with her.

IntelligenceCarmilla is smarter than average and quite perceptive. It is difficult to lie to her and she understands many subjects intuitively.

OverconfidentExactly what it seems to be. Scorpion is more competent than most people but she sometimes overestimates her own abilities. She believes that her achievmeents mean she is superior to most people, and often acts accordingly.

Poison TouchDue to her power Carmilla's left hand always exudes some level of poison. Even if she works to suppress it people she sees on a daily basis will grow ill and could eventually die. The gauntlet from SHIELD suppresses this but only when fully extended.

RebellionCarmilla is not much for being told what to do or how. She will do what she thinks is right, always, even when it means thumbing her nose at all of her allies. She doesn't like to be controlled and is sick of all the people who have tired to manipulate her. This may soon extend to S.H.I.E.L.D.

A.I.M.Through no real fault of her own Carmilla is beloved of AIM. As a result people tend to assume that she works for them or is at least on friendly terms with the organization. While this is not true it has lead to unfortunate situations - such as SHIELD operatives attacking her during a SHIELD sanctioned mission believing her to be working for an AIM cell in the area.
